INTRODUCTION Welcome to the second volume of Index: Xenos. This book is one of five mighty tomes which together contain updated rules for every unit of miniatures in Warhammer 40,000. If you have an army of Orks, T’au, Tyranids or Genestealer Cultists, this volume contains all the information you need to field your models in the new edition of the Warhammer 40,000 game. Within these pages are detailed rules entries, known as datasheets, for every Citadel Miniature within the Orks, T’au Empire, Tyranids and Genestealer Cults ranges. When taken together with the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, you will have everything you need to field the armies of these deadly xenos on the battlefield. The knowledge contained in this tome will enable you to further the ideals of the Greater Good, enact the predatory will of the Hive Mind or stomp your foe into the ground whilst bellowing ‘Waaagh!’ at the top of your lungs. The xenos hordes that assail the Imperium are without number. Though disparate and localised, together they claw down the edifice of the Imperium piece by piece. These hosts of hostile species are united only by their desire to end Humanity’s reign over the stars – whether
by bloody conquest, assimilation at the barrel of a gun, creeping infection or total consumption driven by immortal, alien hunger. The Orks live to fight, and in their endless crusades of violence they have battered down the defences of the Imperium time and time again. The T’au are ostensibly a bright and optimistic race that wishes to help the galaxy thrive under one rule, but those who do not join their cause willingly soon find themselves humbled by the advanced war-tech of their warrior caste. The Genestealer Cults are even better at hiding their true intentions, for they skulk in the shadows, multiplying like a virus before taking over their prey worlds in meticulously planned mass uprisings. The Tyranids these cultists worship are the most alien of all, a race from beyond the stars that exists only to devour every shred of biomass in the galaxy. The doom of Man is close at hand…

INSIDE YOU WILL FIND: • Army Lists: The first four sections of this book present all of the datasheets that you will need in order to use your Orks, T’au, Tyranids and Genestealer Cults miniatures in games of Warhammer 40,000, along with the additional rules and psychic disciplines that make each of these factions unique. • Battle-forged Armies: A guide on how to organise your miniatures into an army for matched play games, including photocopiable Army Roster sheets. • Appendix: This section contains all of the profiles and rules for the wargear carried by the units covered in this book, as well as all of the points values you will need to use your army in matched play games.
DATASHEETS 1. Battlefield Role This is typically used when making a Battle-forged army.

2. Power Rating The higher this is, the more powerful the unit! You can determine the Power Level of your entire army by adding up the Power Ratings of all the units in your army.
3. Unit Name Models move and fight in units, which can have one or more models. Here you’ll find the name of the unit.
5 6 7 8
4. Profiles These contain the following characteristics that tell you how mighty the models in the unit are: Move (M): This is the speed at which a model moves across the battlefield. Weapon Skill (WS): This tells you a model’s skill at hand-to-hand fighting. If a model has a Weapon Skill of ‘-’ it is unable to fight in melee and cannot make close combat attacks at all. Ballistic Skill (BS): This shows how accurate a model is when shooting with ranged weapons. If a model has a Ballistic Skill of ‘-’ it has no proficiency with ranged weapons and cannot make shooting attacks at all.

5. Unit Composition & Wargear
7. Wargear Options
This tells you what models are in the unit and covers the basic weapons and equipment the models are armed with.
Some units have a number of choices as to which gear they take into battle – this section describes these options. Weapons which a unit may take as an optional choice are typically described in the appendix.
6. Weapons The weapons that a unit comes equipped with are described using a set of characteristics as follows:
8. Abilities
Range: How far the weapon can shoot. Weapons with a range of ‘Melee’ can only be used in hand-to-hand combat. All other weapons are referred to as ranged weapons.
9. Keywords
Strength (S): This indicates how strong a model is and how likely it is to inflict damage in hand-to-hand combat.
Type: These are all explained under the Shooting and Fight phases of the core rules.
Toughness (T): This reflects the model’s resilience against physical harm.
Strength (S): How likely the weapon is to inflict damage. If a weapon’s Strength lists ‘User’, it is equal to the wielder’s current Strength. If a weapon lists a modifier such as ‘+1’ or ‘x2’, you should modify the user’s current Strength characteristic as shown to determine the weapon’s Strength. For example, if a weapon’s Strength was ‘x2’, and the user had a Strength characteristic of 6, that weapon has Strength 12.
Wounds (W): Wounds show how much damage a model can sustain before it succumbs to its injuries. Attacks (A): This tells you how many times a model can strike blows in hand-to-hand combat. Leadership (Ld): This reveals how courageous, determined or self-controlled a model is. Save (Sv): This indicates the protection a model’s armour gives.
Armour Penetration (AP): How good it is at getting through armour. Damage (D): The amount of damage inflicted by a successful hit.
5
Many units have exciting special abilities that are not covered by the core rules; these will be described here.
All datasheets have a list of keywords, sometimes separated into Faction keywords and other keywords. The former can be used as a guide to help decide which models to include in your army, but otherwise both sets of keywords are functionally the same. Sometimes a rule will say that it applies to models that have a specific keyword. For example, a rule might say that it applies to ‘all ORKS models’. This means it would only apply to models that have the Orks keyword on their datasheet.
‘These xenos use their own teeth as a currency, if you can believe that. Such a crude notion might seem preposterous but, when one thinks further on the matter, it is easy to see why no Ork ever lives long in poverty providing he possesses bountiful gums or a strong right hook…’ - Colonel Deveraux, 47th Imperial Strategos Corps

ORKS
The Orks are the most belligerent and resourceful race in the galaxy. Rampaging across the void in their billions, the greenskins devastate everything in their path with their ramshackle weapons and war machines, taking brutish glee in wanton destruction and revelling in warfare for its own sake. Orks live to fight. No matter the odds, no matter the foe, they hurl themselves into battle with shootas roaring and choppas swinging. Their ramshackle war engines rumble across the battlefield, filling the air with hails of shells and corkscrewing rockets, while artillery pieces of insane and illogical design crush enemy tanks like rationtins, or snatch aircraft from above with beams of crackling light. The Orks fill the skies with waves of thundering attack craft that rain explosives and firebombs, while at the very heart of the battle the Orks’ monstrous leaders tear their enemies limb from limb. To face the Orks in battle is to stand against a tidal wave of barbarous ferocity that is as unstoppable as it is terrifying.
stapling and riveting away until their unfortunate ‘patient’ is as good as new. Such skill and wisdom is entirely instinctive for Oddboyz – the Orks themselves neither know nor care where it comes from, simply attributing such inexplicable gifts to their thuggish gods, Gork and Mork. The strangest aspect of the Orks is the phenomenon known as the Waaagh!. This word has several, equally important meanings within Ork ‘kultur’. First off, it is the favoured war cry of greenskins the galaxy over, usually bellowed with spittle-spraying gusto while burying several feet of rusty metal in some unfortunate’s skull. Beyond this, the Waaagh! is both the gestalt energy of the Orkoid race that their Weirdboyz channel and vomit into the foe, and the name for their immense armies of interstellar conquest. An Ork Waaagh! is part migration, part holy war, the Orks gathering in their millions and building titanic mobile effigies, before taking to their lumbering warships and setting off into space in search of battle.
Though they appear crude – possibly even stupid – to the more advanced races of the galaxy, the greenskins are nonetheless a deadly threat thanks to their unremitting savagery and phenomenal resilience. In large numbers – and Orks rarely attack in anything but – they are all but fearless. Massed into charging mobs, the greenskins’ momentum carries them through even the fiercest firestorms and into the heart of the enemy’s ranks. If Orks give any thought to their own mortality it is in only the vaguest terms, and so they take risks and attempt gambits that other races would consider tantamount to suicide. This in itself makes the greenskins as unpredictable as they are dangerous, and has seen countless disciplined armies overrun by Orks who charged straight through supposedly untraversable minefields, surged from the toxic depths of chem-swamps to attack an undefended flank, or crash-landed their spacecraft straight into the middle of their foes with no thought whatsoever for casualties.
THE GREAT WAAAGH! The mightiest Ork Warlord in the galaxy is Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, the Beast of Armageddon and prophet of the Ork gods Gork and Mork. While it is the galaxy’s great misfortune to play host to Ork Warlords beyond counting, Ghazghkull is quite possibly the biggest, meanest, most violent and – crucially – the most visionary of them all. For many years, Ghazghkull obsessed over the stalwart Imperial world of Armageddon. This planet, with its towering hive cities, sweeping jungles and vast, dusty plains, was one of the Imperium’s greatest industrial powerhouses before the onset of Waaagh! Ghazghkull. It became a never-ending cauldron of war and devastation, embroiled in carnage and destruction on an apocalyptic scale. This was Ghazghkull’s doing, yet it was not grand enough for him. Since suffering a crippling head injury many years before, Ghazghkull had borne witness to agonising visions that he claimed were sent by Gork and Mork, and on Armageddon he endured his worst premonition yet. Spurred on by it, Ghazghkull left the planet and declared a Great Waaagh!. The Warlord vowed to trample a warpath so grand and spectacular across the galaxy that the Ork gods themselves would be able to tear their way into reality and join the carnage. In the name of this crusade, Ghazghkull has razed dozens of planets and subjugated hundreds of Ork tribes, forging an ever larger Waaagh!. Now he leads a horde that blackens the stars, a ramshackle armada so vast that it can blanket entire star systems in devastation with but a part of its unbelievable might. Still it is not enough, for Ghazghkull will not rest until he fights alongside the greenskin gods themselves.
The Orks infest the galaxy from end to end. Their society and ecology is so robust that it can survive almost anywhere, from carnivorous jungles and airless asteroids to volcanic hellscapes and radiation-drenched death worlds. No matter how inimical the conditions, Orks don’t just survive, they prosper – in their own bloody-minded fashion. Though an Ork tribe might begin with just a few dozen of the creatures, their numbers increase exponentially, and soon enough the greenskins’ strange ecosystem overwhelms local flora and fauna to provide them with ideal living conditions. No scientist or scholar of any galactic race has ever been able to adequately explain how Orks proliferate so swiftly, though theories abound from spores and cellular sub-division to the notion of great green deities vomiting their numberless progeny across the galaxy with wild abandon. Their origins are far from the only mystery surrounding the Orks. Amongst their society exist specialists known collectively as Oddboyz, who appear to spontaneously develop the knowledge required to transform their tribes from barbarous rabble into conquering hordes. Mekboyz, for example, are able to gather whatever scrap metal and junk they can find to hand, fashioning it into spectacular weapons and war engines that – while neither safe nor reliable – are horrifically lethal. Painboyz, meanwhile, know precisely how the Ork anatomy functions, and will merrily root around inside the most hideously maimed warriors, sawing,

COMPOSITION OF A WAAAGH! When an Ork Waaagh! begins, worlds shake with its fury. Millions upon millions of Orks mass around their towering war effigies, bellowing in animal fury as they work themselves into a rabid battle-frenzy. The air hums with strange energies, and billowing clouds of smoke and dust rise like thunderheads. Enemies of the green tide quail in fear, and rightly so, for the power of the Waaagh! is a force of primal destruction without equal. To the untrained eye, an Ork Waaagh! resembles an endless ocean of green muscle, rusted metal, and crudely coloured glyphs and banners. Ork military formations – such as they are – are sprawling and anarchic, bleeding into one another as the greenskins surge forward in massed mobs. Boyz, Battlewagon crews, colossal Stompas and begoggled Ork Flyboyz all race toward the enemy as fast as they can, jostling, trampling, barging and ramming with all the discipline of a stampede of rabid Grox. Yet amidst the mayhem there is order, crude and resilient military structures that the Orks comprehend on an instinctive level.
TRIBES AND CLANS First and foremost, every greenskin from the biggest and most muscle-bound Ork to the scrawniest Grot slave, belongs to a tribe. This is the closest analogue that Imperial strategists have been able to draw to any kind of formal Ork ‘regiment’, though the composition and sizes of Ork tribes varies wildly. Most tribes are led by a Warboss. Inevitably this will be the biggest, loudest, meanest greenskin of the lot, a scar-covered brute who has bullied and bludgeoned his way to the top of the heap. Ork Warbosses get the best loot, the best fights, and the biggest guns, choppas and suits of armour, while every other Ork in the tribe does what
they say without question. Orks do not see such tyranny as a bad thing; to them, it is simply the natural order of things. Occasionally a tribe may be led by a Big Mek or Painboss, an Oddboy who has gotten so big and powerful that either they have taken command of the tribe by force, or else been kicked out by their Warboss as a potential threat and so started up a tribe of their own. Directly below the leader of the tribe are his Boss Nobz. Huge brutes second only to the Warboss in size and ferocity, these tusk-mawed killers keep the Boyz in line and brawl mercilessly to prove who’s the best. If there is ever a challenge to the Warboss’ leadership, it will likely come from amongst his Nobz as the largest and meanest amongst them takes a swing at claiming ultimate power. The Warboss’ Oddboyz also exist within this social strata, making their unique skills available to their master in exchange for his favour (or at least not being beaten to a pulp). The rest of the tribe is made up of Ork mobs. Many of these fight on foot, gathering in great numbers beneath the boss-pole of one Nob or another and following them howling into battle. Other Orks hurtle to war in smoke-belching Trukks, Buggies and Battlewagons, or sitting astride snarling Warbikes. Others still build huge and preposterous guns with which to shred their victims from
GROTS Smaller and scrawnier than their Ork masters, Grots form the natural underclass of Ork society. In truth, Grots are substantially cleverer and more sneaky than Orks, and it is only this natural cunning that enables the luckless creatures to survive. Orks treat Grots as their slaves – when not herding them into battle to soak up enemy fire or clear minefields the hard way, Orks rely upon Grots to do all the menial tasks, from crewing field guns and carrying ammo to crawling into the mechanical guts of stalled war engines and smacking them with wrenches until they start working again. Constantly kicked, beaten, thrust into harm’s way or just plain eaten by their larger cousins, the Grots endure countless indignities in their short and brutal lives. For all this, Grots accept their lot largely without question, venting their spite upon one another, the enemy, or whatever luckless captives the Orks take in battle.
a distance, or else charge madly into the fight spewing fire from dubious-looking flamethrowers. Squadrons of hurtling aircraft, convoys of looted tanks, clanking, saw-fisted walkers and batteries of bizarre field artillery – all of these mobs and many more can be found within most Ork tribes to one degree or another. Entirely separate to the crude strata of Ork tribes are the six clans. In some ways, the clans are closer to spiritual groupings, while in others they resemble distinct nationalities or philosophies within Ork society. Of course, the Orks themselves see things far more simply; every Ork belongs to a clan, which means he prefers certain colours, has particular likes and dislikes, and is one hundred percent certain that his clan is the best and most important of the lot. Within a single tribe there may well be mobs of Orks from several different clans, all fighting together despite their sometimes violent rivalries. Such diversity actually benefits the Ork tribes immensely, for each clan’s Orks tend toward certain violent proclivities and specialisms that complement each other upon the field of battle.
The Goff Clan has as its symbol an angry bull’s head on a field of black and white checks. It typically produces the biggest, meanest greenskins around. Goff Boyz wear black, white and red, and their hides are usually criss-crossed with the scars of countless brutal close combats. The Goffs consider massed infantry charges the only true way for Orks to fight, describing anything more strategic or technological as ‘muckin’ about’. Goff Boyz and Nobz have a prominent place in the battle-line of many Ork tribes, and can usually be found where the fighting is thickest, running headlong through hails of fire in order to tear the enemy limb from limb.
The Evil Sunz Clan embodies the Orks’ obsessive love of speed. Clad in red and orange garb, often decorated with stylized flames, Evil Sunz Boyz typically pile aboard the fastest vehicles they can so as to hurtle into battle in the vanguard of the Waaagh!. This clan is especially famed for their throngs of Warbikes and their lunatic pilots, who hurtle to war with the leering sun glyph of their clan visible to all.
The Orks of the Bad Moons Clan are the richest of all their kind, for their teeth – the basis of all Ork currency – grow at twice the normal rate. Because of their wealth, Bad Moons favour bright yellow wargear and the shine of any sort of precious metals, while their clan glyph is a leering moon whose mouth brims with wicked fangs. The Bad Moons have all the best gear, from engine-driven saw-choppas to triple-barrelled plasma-rocket-shootas, and they’re not shy in bragging about it to every other greenskin who will listen. Going into battle against such spectacularly over-equipped Orks is a terrifying prospect, for while they may not be any better a shot than their kin from other clans, the sheer destructive firepower generated by massed Bad Moons is enough to blow the leg off an Imperial Titan.
The Orks of the Deathskulls Clan are light-fingered thieves who share an almost Mekboy-like knack for tinkering with Ork technology. Their clan glyph is a horned skull, while their favoured colours are white and blue, the latter being traditionally associated by the greenskins with good luck. Though the Deathskulls enjoy a good fight as much as the next Ork, their inherent kleptomania leads them to see every battle as just another thrilling excuse to scavenge, loot or steal whatever they can get their hands on. When not blazing away with their preposterously huge deffguns, the Deathskulls are more than happy to indulge in such battlefield larceny, and will merrily club to death anyone who gets in their way.
The Blood Axe Clan is unique amongst all of Orkdom for its members’ belief that battles should be fought to an actual plan. It is not that the Blood Axes are less courageous or psychotically violent than other Orks, but rather they simply possess a rudimentary comprehension of strategy, tactics and stealth. The Blood Axe Clan uses crossed choppas as its glyph, and rather than having a single, unifying clan colour, its Boyz garb themselves in luridly mangled approximations of Imperial camouflage patterns. The Blood Axes are famed for their Kommandos and, while other Orks tend to see them as untrustworthy gits who are not sufficiently ‘Orky’, there is no denying that their grasp of such strategic intricacies as concentration of fire, flank attacks, and not just running headlong into artillery fire have proven invaluable to many a Warboss the galaxy over.
The Orks of the Snakebites Clan wear natural, brownish hues and boast a stylised snake as their glyph. They see themselves as staunch traditionalists, and care little that the other clans mock them for their backwards ways. The Snakebites specialise in the breeding of squigs, or squiggly beasts, the strange, fungoid monsters that make up much of the Orks’ bizarre ecosystem. These creatures can grow to enormous size and savagery under the husbandry of the hard-bitten Snakebites, eventually becoming the behemoth monsters known as Squiggoths. When the Snakebites take to the field in their armoured howdahs atop their bellowing Squiggoth herds, the other clans stop their sniggering pretty quickly.

ORKS ARMY LIST This section contains all of the datasheets that you will need in order to fight battles with your Ork miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. Some rules are common to several Ork units, and are described on these pages and referenced on the datasheets.
KEYWORDS
ABILITIES
Throughout this section you will come across a keyword that is within angular brackets, specifically . This is shorthand for a keyword of your own choosing, as described below.
The following abilities are common to several Ork units:
’Ere We Go! A unit with this ability can re-roll failed charge rolls.
All Orks belong to a clan, a group of like-minded greenskins that share a propensity for a certain kind of warfare. Some datasheets specify what clan the unit is drawn from (e.g. Ghazghkull Thraka has the GOFF keyword, so is from the Goff clan). If an ORK datasheet does not specify which clan it is drawn from, it will have the keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which clan that unit is from. You then simply replace the keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen clan. For example, if you were to include a Warboss in your army, and you decided he was from the Evil Sunz clan, his Faction keyword is changed to EVIL SUNZ and his Breakin’ Heads ability would then say ‘If an EVIL SUNZ unit fails a Morale test within 3" of a friendly EVIL SUNZ WARBOSS, they can restore order with a brutal display of violence. If they do, the unit suffers D3 mortal wounds but the Morale test is then considered to have been passed.’
Mob Rule A unit with this ability can use the number of models in their unit as their Leadership characteristic. In addition, a unit with this ability can use the Leadership characteristic of any friendly ORK unit within 6".
POWER OF THE WAAAGH! DISCIPLINE Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKERS that can use powers from the Power of the Waaagh! discipline using the table below. You can either roll a D3 to generate their powers randomly (re-roll any duplicate results), or you can select the psychic powers you wish the psyker to have.
POWER OF THE WAAAGH! DISCIPLINE
WARGEAR Many of the units you will find on the following pages reference one or more of the following wargear lists (e.g. Shooty Weapons). When this is the case, the unit may take any item from the appropriate list below. The profiles for the weapons in these lists can be found in the appendix (pg 132-133).
D3 PSYCHIC POWER
1
’Eadbanger ’Eadbanger has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, roll a D6 and compare it to the Toughness characteristic of the closest visible enemy model within 9" of the psyker. If the result is higher than the model’s Toughness, it is slain.
SHOOTY WEAPONS Shoota Kustom shoota Kombi-weapon with rokkit launcha Kombi-weapon with skorcha

T’AU EMPIRE
The T’au Empire is a dynamic rising force in the galaxy, as yet unburdened by the bloody failures of a long history. United by their shared vision of the Greater Good, the T’au strive to bring enlightenment to other races, even if they must do so at the barrel of a gun. With blistering speed, the T’au offensive carves deep into enemy ranks. Their sleek aircraft dominate the skies, launching volleys of missiles and pinpoint bomb strikes that cripple key defences with unerring precision. Pathfinder Teams emerge from cover, designating highprofile targets with markerlights and coordinating the ground assault with an artist’s finesse. Under the cover of artillery barrages from Broadside Battlesuits and towering walkers, ranks of Fire Warriors advance, laying down a fusillade of punishing pulse fire that burns through armour plating with contemptuous ease. Standing tall upon their hover drone, a hallowed Ethereal extols their warriors to ever greater acts of heroism, their passionate oratory ringing clear across the clamour of battle. Hearts singing with the righteous creed of the Greater Good, the T’au sweep aside all before them with the power of their superior technology. The T’au have always been scientific innovators, but in the earliest days of their civilisation, this ingenuity was not tempered with caution or wisdom. The naive and short-tempered race almost wiped itself out in a brutal civil war, and were saved only by the arrival of the Ethereals. These mysterious beings united the T’au, giving them a glimpse of the true enlightenment that would follow if they put aside their petty differences and joined as one. Ever since that day, the Ethereals have held positions of absolute power amongst their species; none know the secrets of their unquestioned authority, but the presence of a single such figure inspires a reverence in the hearts of T’au that can turn the tide of a war. In the centuries since the Ethereals’ emergence, the T’au have undergone a shockingly rapid advancement. Simmering resentments and prejudices were put aside as the entire race was divided into a rigid social structure of castes, each with their own strictly defined role. The Fire caste would be trained from birth in the art of combat, and tasked with the subjugation of those who resisted the Greater Good. The bleeding-edge technology that would be
utilised by these warriors, not to mention the food and resources required to fuel the expansion of the T’au Empire, would be provided by the Earth caste, while the soldiers of the Air caste would be responsible for transporting their landbound kin across the skies and stars. All the while, the politicians, bureaucrats and diplomats of the Water caste would ensure that the civic structure of the T’au Empire ran smoothly, handling the intricacies of trade and government while at the same time negotiating the integration of defeated alien cultures. Regardless of their given duty, these castes strove together for the Greater Good – the core philosophical concept of galactic unity that defines the T’au’s every action. Under the guidance of the Ethereal caste, the T’au began the millennia-long First Sphere Expansion, sowing the seeds of a nascent yet powerful empire. World after world was claimed, and though hostile lifeforms were encountered often, none could stand in the face of their ingenious and implacable conquerors. These newly annexed regions of space were designated as septs, and took their names from the great sept worlds that were established as the cultural and military capitals of each sector. During these heady days of expansion, many uncultured alien races were brought into the light of reason. The insectoid Vespid and savage, cannibalistic Kroot were two such races encountered and assimilated into the T’au’s unstoppable war machine. While the noble warriors of the Fire and Air castes fought and bled for each new conquest, the scientists and builders of the Earth caste invented ever more ingenious weapons of war for them to utilise in battle. The Second and Third Sphere Expansions followed, and the territories of the T’au Empire grew at an exponential rate with each fresh campaign. All who would deny the truth of the Greater Good were smashed aside by the T’au way of war. The key tenets of this military doctrine, which had been refined over many centuries of rigorous training and brutal experience, are manoeuvrability and the precision
strike. Stealth Battlesuits and Pathfinder Teams advance ahead of the main force, identifying key targets as they map out terrain and fortifications. Only when a battle plan has been thoroughly studied and ratified are the T’au forces unleashed. Sun Shark and Razorshark fighters dominate the skies, dismantling the enemy’s air response before turning their guns on ground targets. Fire Warriors seize key positions in a blaze of pulse fire. Crisis Battlesuits and their larger Riptide and Ghostkeel cousins provide the deathblow, their weapon arrays pouring streams of cannon fire or barrages of micro-missiles into the enemy as they are borne to advantageous positions by repulsor jets. For every possible enemy response, the Earth caste has created a technological counter. Battlesuits of all description employ a dizzying variety of long-range and short-range munitions, and even the T’au’s defensive emplacements can be moved at a moment’s notice; no sooner does the ebb and flow of battle rearrange the front line than a Tidewall Gunrig’s engines fire up, lifting the railgun platform across the battlefield to redeploy in a key tactical location. It is precisely this adaptability and cunning that has enabled the T’au to conquer a vast swathe of the galaxy. With each leap forward, the Empire encounters new and ever deadlier threats. The belligerent Orks are always ready for war, and the bio-ships of the Tyranids drift forth from the depths of space, ravening for new worlds to devour. Around the war-torn Damocles Gulf, the stubborn Imperium of Man continues to hurl their seemingly numberless regiments and fleets into battle, uncaring of the horrific losses their vengeful crusades have wrought. And in the darkness of space there are even greater horrors, beings of infinite malice whose hungry eyes fall upon the shining sept worlds of the T’au. Despite the galaxy’s many perils, the warriors of the Empire fight on, emboldened by the knowledge that they alone hold the key to unity and peace amongst the stars. All must allow the light of that truth into their hearts, or else be cleansed in the fires of war.
‘Let none doubt that the T’au Empire will bring unity to all – let none doubt that now is our time. Forward, for the Greater Good!’ - Aun’Va, Ethereal Supreme, addressing the Fire caste cadres from atop the ruins of the Agrellan Hive
THE FIRE CASTE Driven to self-improvement and mastery of form, warriors of the Fire caste spend their entire lives either preparing for battle or fighting in the field. Theirs would be a thankless existence were it not for their utter belief in the Greater Good, and the unbreakable bonds of comradeship that exist within the cadres. The warriors of the Fire caste form the backbone of the T’au’s expansion armies. Descended from the savage tribes that once dominated the plains and grasslands of blessed T’au, they were the strongest and hardiest of their race even before the Ethereals set them upon their militaristic course. Over many centuries, eugenics programmes have pruned the weakest gene-strains from amongst their number, leaving only the fiercest and most strong-willed soldiers.
are amongst the best-equipped line infantry in the galaxy. Strike Teams pour beams of blue-white fire into the enemy ranks with expert precision, while the close-assault Breacher Teams repel heavily armoured foes with flesh-atomising volleys from their pulse blasters. The veteran warriors designated as Cadre Fireblades guide these devastating fusillades, directing and optimising fire patterns, and inspiring the ranks to new heights of heroism with their mere presence.
Whether encased in cutting-edge battlesuits or standing side by side in a pulse rifle gun-line, those of the Fire caste face the myriad threats and horrors of the galaxy with great bravery, trusting in the beneficence and wisdom of their spiritual leaders and the deadly power of their advanced weaponry. All are guided by the Code of Fire, a combat doctrine that extols the virtues of martial training and loyalty, and defines the T’au concept of total war fought with wisdom and ruthless precision. These traits are embodied by the heroic Commanders that lead the T’au contingents into battle. Armed with the latest weapons systems and battlesuits, T’au war leaders have earned their prestige through decades of battlefield experience. None amongst their ranks are privileged nobles who have earned their commission through wealth or fortunate bloodline. Every single Commander in the T’au Empire – even names as legendary as Puretide, Shadowsun and Farsight – started their military service in the ranks of the Fire Warriors.
Fire Warriors are often deployed to key positions by lightning-fast TY7 Devilfish transports, which glide gracefully across the battlefield aloft the invisible energies of their repulsor engines. Swift and sure, these ubiquitous transports are beloved of the Fire caste, and their daring pilots are highly respected. Smaller TX4 Piranha skimmers support the advance of the Devilfish. Speeding through hails of enemy fire, too fast to draw a bead on, these versatile craft are quick to identify and eliminate key threats. Behind them glide Hammerhead Gunships, armed with heavy ion and rail cannons. These elegant and deadly craft, whose armaments can tear through inchesthick plate armour as if it were parchment, are the T’au’s response to the massed tank formations favoured by the Imperium. Sky Ray Gunships lurk at the rear of the advance, their ordnance arrays ready to deliver precise bombardments on targets lit up by markerlight beams.
The Fire Warriors are the most numerous amongst their caste, dutiful soldiers trained from birth in the military arts and guided by the Code of Fire. Honour, self-sacrifice and obedience – these are the traits by which the Fire Warriors define themselves. These soldiers would not hesitate to throw themselves into the jaws of death if such an act would benefit the Greater Good. Armed with devastating pulse weaponry that packs enough punch to pierce the ceramite plate of a Space Marine, and encased in suits of nanocrystalline armour with integrated comms and diagnostics, the Fire Warriors
The T’au military’s extensive use of drone technology provides further versatility and protection to its fire teams. The Earth caste has designed countless variations of these unmanned aerial vehicles, from simple gun platforms to Grav-inhibitor Drones that slow charging enemies to a crawl, rendering them easy targets for a pinpoint fusillade of pulse energy. While Drones can operate alone, they typically accompany squads of Fire Warriors into the field, providing indispensable tactical flexibility and fire support. The T’au way of war calls for precise coordination between every single component of an army. The might of a
Battlesuit assault is of no use if it is not supported by infantry and air elements, and even the most intricate plan may fall apart upon contact with the foe. It is the task of the Pathfinders to ensure this does not happen. These light infantry units operate ahead of the main T’au advance, laying down the foundations for the fire storm that will follow. Their task is not to engage the enemy head-on, but instead to optimise firing solutions and lay down drop-beacons and markerlights that will allow their comrades to fight at maximum efficiency. That is not to say that these honoured scouts are unable to take the fight to the enemy themselves; supported by the latest drone technology and armed with lightweight pulse carbines and precision rifles, the Pathfinders can strike vulnerable targets with deadly force. Battlesuits are the pinnacle of T’au military technology. These devastating bipedal weapon platforms are piloted by fearless members of the Fire caste who leap into the fiercest firefights with guns blazing. In mere moments, their foes are obliterated in a hail of micro-missiles and plasma fire. The front-line XV8 Crisis Battlesuit is the most recognisable of these technological marvels, but the scientists of the Earth caste have created countless variations that provide the adaptability so vital to the T’au way of war. XV25 Stealth Battlesuits operate on the fringes of the battle, appearing as if out of nowhere as they cut their adaptive camo-fields before blasting the enemy apart with point-blank salvoes. From optimised firing positions, XV88 Broadsides lay down punishing barrages of artillery fire, and towering Riptide and Ghostkeel Battlesuits possess the firepower to wipe out entire squads of Space Marine Terminators or hordes of Tyranid bio-forms. Most fearful of all is the mighty KV128 Stormsurge, a titanic walking tank whose chassis carries a truly horrifying armament of rockets, missiles, flamers and pulse cannons. Rooting itself to the ground with powerful stabilising anchors, the Stormsurge unleashes a cataclysmic barrage of white-hot death that vaporises super-heavy tanks and colossal Titans alike.
THE FARSIGHT REBELLION The legendary O’Shovah was once the favoured son of the T’au Empire. Known as Commander Farsight for his uncanny prescience upon the battlefield, O’Shovah was a peerless warrior and bold strategist whose mastery of the Mont’ka – the most aggressive form of T’au warfare – had earned his people many glorious victories. When the T’au’s frontier holdings taken in the Second Sphere Expansion came under assault from the belligerent Imperium of Man, it was to O’Shovah that the Ethereal caste turned. His campaign across the Damocles Gulf was predictably successful. Yet, despite his many victories, Farsight was left troubled by the Ethereals’ callous disregard for his soldiers’ lives. Doubts entered his mind. The T’au’va taught that all life had value, and yet in this war against the Imperium, so many brave heroes had been thrown under the tracks of Imperial tanks, or forced to commit unspeakable acts in the name of the Greater Good. Worse was to come when he was forced to divert his forces to counter an imminent Ork assault
that would have undone all the gains his campaign had achieved. He cornered his foe on the world of Arthas Moloch, only to come under attack from strange creatures that poured into existence from breaches in the fabric of reality. The Ethereals accompanying Farsight on his expedition were slain in the ensuing carnage. Tradition dictated that O’Shovah return to the Empire in light of such an event, but for reasons that remain unknown to all but the enigmatic commander, he instead led his forces into exile. It was many years before the Ethereals discovered that, far from dying on Arthas Moloch, Farsight had instead founded his own splinter empire. To this day he rules over the Farsight Enclaves, his life extended by some unknown process. The Ethereal caste has since expunged all records of his manifold achievements, and assigned the revered Commander Shadowsun, O’Shovah’s old comrade, the task of hunting the errant leader down.
T’AU EMPIRE ARMY LIST This section contains all of the datasheets that you will need in order to fight battles with your T’au miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. Some rules are common to several T’au units, and are described on these pages and referenced on the datasheets.
KEYWORDS
ABILITIES
Throughout this section you will come across a keyword that is within angular brackets, specifically . This is shorthand for a keyword of your own choosing, as described below.
The following ability is common to several T’au Empire units:
All T’au belong to a sept world, or hail from the breakaway Farsight Enclaves. Some datasheets specify what sept the unit is drawn from (e.g. Commander Shadowsun has the T’AUSEPT keyword, so is from the T’au sept, while Commander Farsight has the FARSIGHT ENCLAVES keyword, so is from the Farsight Enclaves). If a T’AU EMPIRE datasheet does not specify which sept it is drawn from, it will have the keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which sept that unit is from (or nominate that unit to be from the Farsight Enclaves). You then simply replace the keyword on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen sept, or the words ‘Farsight Enclaves’. You can use any of the septs that you have read about, or make up your own. For example, if you were to include a Cadre Fireblade in your army, and you decided they were from the Vior’la sept, their Faction keyword is changed to VIOR’LA SEPT and their ‘Volley Fire’ ability would then say ‘Models in VIOR’LA SEPT units within 6" of any friendly VIOR’LA SEPT Cadre Fireblades may fire an extra shot with pulse pistols, pulse carbines and pulse rifles when shooting at a target within half the weapon’s range.’
For the Greater Good When an enemy unit declares a charge, a unit with this ability that is within 6" of one of the charging unit’s targets may fire Overwatch as if they were also targeted. A unit that does so cannot fire Overwatch again in this turn.
MARKERLIGHTS If a model (other than a VEHICLE) fires a markerlight, it cannot fire any other weapons in that phase. When a unit is hit by a markerlight, place a counter next to it for the remainder of the phase. The table below describes the benefits T’AUEMPIRE models have when shooting at a unit that has markerlight counters. All benefits are cumulative.
MARKERLIGHT TABLE MARKERLIGHTS BENEFIT 1 2

You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for T’AU EMPIRE models attacking this unit. Destroyer and seeker missiles fired at this unit use the firing model’s Ballistic Skill (and any modifiers) rather than only hitting on a 6. T’AUEMPIRE models attacking this unit do not suffer the penalty for moving and firing Heavy weapons or Advancing and firing Assault weapons. The target unit does not gain any bonus to its saving throws for being in cover. Add 1 to hit rolls for T’AUEMPIRE models attacking this unit.
WARGEAR Many of the units you will find on the following pages reference one or both of the following wargear lists (e.g. Ranged Weapons). When this is the case, the unit may take any item from the appropriate list below. The rules for the items in these lists can be found in the appendix (pg 136-137).

TYRANIDS
The shadow of the Tyranid race falls across the galaxy like a cloying shroud. Driven by an all-consuming imperative to feed, these horrific weaponised bioforms devour whole worlds in impossibly vast swarms, leaving them as little more than barren rocks devoid of all life. The galaxy is a dark and terrible place, and thousands of horrors lurk amongst the stars. Yet none rival the sheer, unrelenting nightmare of the Tyranids. These ravenous aliens have no desire beyond the constant need to consume. Borne through the endless expanse of space in colossal hive fleets, the Tyranids fall upon one world after another, devouring every scrap of organic matter and leaving nothing but desolation in their wake. To see the sky darken and bruise under the fell presence of scores of Tyranid bio-ships, vomiting their locust-like swarms into the atmosphere, is to know the terror of being nothing more than prey.
carapaces. Raveners burrow their way into the few remaining strongholds, falling upon the doomed occupants, hacking and slashing with their vicious talons. Soon, the stain of the Tyranid hunter-organisms has spread across the entire planet, and screaming survivors of the initial invasion wave are snatched from their hiding places and eviscerated. With all resistance destroyed, the Tyranids begin the process of consumption. Writhing tides of feeder-organisms sweep across the planet, devouring every scrap of flesh and every drop of moisture. Nothing is left to waste, not even the ruptured remains of fallen Tyranids. This accumulated biomatter is then turned into foul-smelling gruel upon which the monstrous living ships of the hive fleet feed. Great digestion pools the size of lakes gape like cysts in the planet’s surface, bubbling with virulent acids and digestive Tyranid micro-organisms. The biomass of the planet is vomited into these churning lakes by lumbering Haruspexes. This is followed by the warrior beasts of the Tyranid swarms themselves, going willingly to their own annihilation that they might be reabsorbed by the Hive Mind as raw materials for the next planetary invasion. Vile, mucus-slick capillary towers burst from the writhing crust of the planet, reaching high into the upper atmosphere where the waiting bio-ships latch on and suckle the lifeblood of the world away. When it has gorged itself fully and every shred of biomatter has been assimilated, the hive fleet finally departs, leaving nothing but a shattered planetary husk in its wake as it sets off in search of its next hunting ground.
None know the true origins of the Tyranids. Xenobiologists of the Imperium theorise that they hail from some incalculably distant quarter beyond the intergalactic void, and that they have been drawn to this galaxy by its proliferation of biomass much as swarming insects are drawn to fields of crops. The Tyranids’ singleminded need to consume at the expense of all else is unheard of amongst any other lifeform, but it is not the only horrifying aspect unique to these monsters. The coming of a Tyranid hive fleet is preceded by a smothering shroud of psychic nothingness that envelops entire star systems. Whole worlds go silent, their astropathic communications cut off by the Shadow in the Warp. Psykers caught within this field of psychic static risk losing their minds as their connection to the empyrean is overwhelmed by the hideous chittering of the gestalt alien consciousness known as the Hive Mind. Even those who endure must use their powers sparingly and with great care, lest their psyches be torn to shreds. With astropathic communication choked off, the inhabitants of a prey world have little choice but to take up arms, fight until their last breath and hope for a miracle.
Entire sectors of space have been scoured in this manner, as the Tyranid hive fleets drift ever closer to the galactic core. Only by the most horrendous sacrifices can this doom be held back, and even the mightiest armies in the galaxy have been forced to their knees by the Tyranids’ unrelenting advance. The Ultramarines’ blessed home world of Macragge was almost lost to the horror of Hive Fleet Behemoth, and were it not for the heroic defiance of the Space Marines and their Chapter Master Marneus Calgar, the tendrils of the Tyranid menace might have choked the life from Segmentum Ultima. Yet despite similar displays of bravery on a thousand worlds across the Imperium and beyond, the hive fleets will not be halted. While the galaxy’s inhabitants turn their eyes to the horrors emerging from the Great Rift, the Tyranid menace continues on its implacable course, utterly focused on the consumption of all life.
Upon encircling a world, the hive fleet disgorges wave after wave of weapon beasts into the atmosphere. Mycetic spores by the million plunge through sawing flak fire, each bloated bio-pod stuffed full of beasts ready to burst forth and slaughter all in their path. Hordes of Termagants, Hormagaunts and flying Gargoyles sweep across the planet, driven by the urging of the Hive Mind coupled with their own instinct to hunt and kill. The prey pour fire into the onrushing swarms from behind acid-scorched barricades, or else launch desperate offensives to cripple the leader-beasts that act as coordinating nodes for the Hive Mind. But for every Tyranid slain, two more take its place. Their weapons spit burrowing grubs and digestive fluids that eat through armour and flesh with horrific ease, and screaming soldiers are borne to the ground and sliced to pieces under scything claws. Where heavy resistance is encountered, hulking siege organisms such as the devastating Carnifex or the plasma-spitting Exocrine are deployed to smash enemy armour or fortifications into rubble.
‘I was there at Asphenyx. I saw the sun darken, and the skies crawl. I saw the piles of corpses we made, and the endless tide that surged over the dead to fall upon us with razor-sharp claws and flensing teeth. I still see it every night, in my waking nightmares.’
When the majority of the prey-world’s forces have been slaughtered, the Tyranids begin the process of hunting down the last pockets of resistance. Blade-limbed Lictors stalk the streets and underhives in search of victims, disguised by their chameleonic
- Sergeant Taven Collick, 63rd Infernus Steelhides

THE HIVE FLEETS Drifting through the void come star-eclipsing shoals of immense creatures whose cephalopodic forms bristle with spines and feeder tendrils. Each of these living vessels is host to thousands upon thousands of dormant warrior-forms, ready to wake from their slumber when the hive fleet locates its next meal. The Tyranids have no home world, and no domain save their swiftly ravaged planetary hunting grounds. They are a spaceborne race, spreading inward from the fringes of the galaxy like a rapacious and incurable virus. They travel in hive fleets, shoals of gigantic bio-ships that also serve as their spawning grounds. The first of these hive fleets encountered by the Imperium was code-named ‘Behemoth’, and it struck the realm of Ultramar like a battering ram. Behemoth caused terrible destruction before it was exterminated by the combined efforts of the Ultramarines and the Imperial Navy. At that time the Imperium dared to hope that the hive fleet was an isolated phenomenon, a xenos aberration that had been dealt with and would not be seen again. That hope was dashed with the arrival of Hive Fleet Kraken, and many other hive fleets have followed since, each adapting in response to the successes and failures of those that came before. Even when the backbone of a hive fleet is broken, the threat is not averted. Hive Fleet Kraken might have been shattered at horrific cost, but the tendrils of its splinter fleets were dispersed across the galaxy like numberless spores. Hive Fleet Leviathan, meanwhile learned still further from the failures of its predecessors; it surged into the galaxy from many ingress points simultaneously, pushing not just inwards from the fringes, but upwards from below the galactic plane. Where once the Tyranids could be considered a slow-moving and largely distant threat, now they can strike anywhere, at any time. Understandably, given the apparent autonomy of the hive fleets, many magos biologis have classified them as sub-categories of their species, each competing for resources. The truth is far more unsettling – each fleet is but one element of a greater whole. Every warrior-beast, feeder organism and bio-ship is a single fragment of an unfathomably complex entity that stretches across the vast reaches of space. This sentience is known as the Hive Mind. It is this gestalt consciousness, still an utter mystery to the galaxy at large, that allows the Tyranids to coordinate their attacks. Every organism, from the diminutive Rippers that devour the biological matter of conquered worlds, to colossal Tyrannofexes and Bio-Titans, is linked to the Hive Mind. Unless impelled otherwise, these creatures follow a pattern of behaviour befitting their function, though their actions are still driven by the will of the greater consciousness. Larger and more complex organisms like Tyranid Warriors and Hive Tyrants are granted far more autonomy, and possess the ability to override the natural instincts of the swarm with a synaptic form of telepathy. Thus, despite their blunt predatory desires, Tyranid forces led by such creatures operate on a far more advanced strategic level, enacting tactical manoeuvres every bit as canny as those of even the greatest generals. However, should one of these synapse creatures be slain, the link between individual organisms and the Hive Mind is severed, disrupting the cohesion of the swarm and causing each creature to revert to its instinctual state. Observant enemies quickly learn to focus their fire upon the largest and most imposing beasts within a Tyranid swarm, noting the loss of
unity that results from such kills. For this reason, Tyranid forces are often led by multiple synapse creatures that form a layered network of synaptic control, so that if one of them falls the Hive Mind’s influence remains strong. Swift adaptation to the tactics, weapons and even the physiology of their prey is the most terrifying feature of the Tyranids. The forces of the hive fleets contain creatures specialised in every conceivable aspect of warfare, and the spawning chambers of each bio-ship can actively alter and replicate these organisms to suit the needs of any battle. A tactic that works once against the Tyranids will seldom prove successful in a later campaign, or even a later battle, for the Hive Mind learns with each encounter. Where concentrated firepower wipes out its swarms, the Hive Mind floods the battlefield with too many targets for its prey to kill, girds its beasts in thick plates of chitin, or sends monsters to tunnel underneath the enemy’s lines and burst up in their midst. Where the foe breaks the Tyranid swarms with armour and artillery, the Hive Mind deploys creatures whose excretions eat away at hulls and seals to poison the crews within, or else meets them with lumbering living tanks whose corrosive munitions and crushing claws make short work of vehicles. Should the prey seek to evade direct battle and orchestrate a hit-and-run war with the Tyranids, the Hive Mind sends creatures to devour and demolish the enemy’s cover, despatches winged swarms to tear aerial threats from the sky, and seeds the battlefield with camouflaged murderbeasts that swiftly transform hunters to hunted. Thus far, it seems that there is no obstacle the hive fleets cannot overcome, and the only thing that can truly stem the tide is the sacrifice of thousands upon thousands of lives, fed into the jaws of the beast in a desperate attempt to slow its progress.
LEVIATHAN’S FALL Hive Fleet Leviathan was the greatest Tyranid threat that the Imperium of Man had ever encountered, a gathering of bio-ships so vast that even the attempts of the noble Blood Angels and all their successor Chapters could not halt its advance. Having consumed the biomass of Human, Ork and Aeldari alike during its relentless advance across the galaxy, the largest tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan was at the very height of its power, able to form new strategies and tactical counters at an exponential rate. Upon the Blood Angels’ home world of Baal, Commander Dante devised a series of formidable defensive fortifications and awaited Leviathan’s arrival. When the hive fleet’s shadow finally fell upon Baal and her twin moons, bloody battle was joined. The first nineteen waves of Tyranid warrior-organisms, each larger than the last, were driven off at great loss to the Blood Angels and their successor allies. Five Chapter Masters fell in that storm of bloodshed, and inch by inch the Space Marines were forced back to their fortress monastery, where they prepared to make a defiant last stand. It was at that moment, when all seemed lost, that the Cicatrix Maledictum – the Great Rift – tore open in the fabric
of reality, and a foul aetheric wind swept forth, blasting its way across the war-torn Baal System. Eventually the skies cleared and the stars shone once more, and where Hive Fleet Leviathan had once orbited Baal and its moons, now an Imperial fleet was in its place. The reawakened Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman, led a vengeful assault upon the disorganised remnants of the Tyranid swarms, and Baal was quickly scoured of the xenos taint. Exactly what became of Leviathan remains a mystery, though upon the now barren and lifeless moon of Baal Prime a clue was found – millions upon millions of xenos skulls, piled high in the eight-pillared symbol of the Bloodthirster Ka’Bandha, ancient nemesis of the Blood Angels. Leviathan’s defeat came at great cost, and even then the hive fleet still has many smaller tendrils coiling through the galaxy. Worse, this defeat has merely slowed the threat posed by the Tyranids, not defeated it. With every passing year reports of new incursions arrive, as new hive fleets thrust their tendrils out of the void. Hive Fleet Hydra skirts the galactic rim, biding its time as it gathers up the scattered splinter fleets of previous invasions. Scylla and Charybdis carve parallel paths through Segmentums Pacificus and Solar, far too close to the Imperium’s heartlands, while Hive Fleet Jormungandr cuts its way down from the northern edge of the galaxy. Yet the fear is that these are merely the vanguard of a far greater entity, the true form of the Hive Mind simply softening up the galaxy before it makes its presence known.
THE SWARMLORD Amongst the numberless lifeforms linked to the Hive Mind, there exists a creature as old as the Tyranid race itself. It is a harbinger of ruin, a beast that has wrought untold carnage upon the galaxy and has preyed upon civilisations beyond count. This legendary abomination is known by many names, but to those rare few in the Imperium who have witnessed its fury and lived, it is the Swarmlord. Originally encountered by Humanity during the First Tyrannic War, this ancient predator has appeared across the breadth of the galaxy, fighting for different hive fleets over the course of centuries. The Swarmlord is, to all intents and purposes, deathless, for its link to the Hive Mind transcends physical limitations. Should it be slain, the creature’s consciousness is absorbed into the synaptic web, where it stays until its body is re-grown once more. Thus, the Swarmlord can be deployed by the Hive Mind all across the galaxy, wherever its endless reserves of cunning and tactical knowledge are most needed. So intelligent is this monster that at the Battle for Macragge it was even able to outwit the Ultramarines, long considered one of the most tactically astute forces in the galaxy. The great Marneus Calgar himself was almost slain by the four serrated bone sabres that the Swarmlord wields with a skill adapted over aeons of constant warfare.
TYRANIDS ARMY LIST This section contains all of the datasheets that you will need in order to fight battles with your Tyranid miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and abilities it may have. Some rules are common to several Tyranid units – these are described below and are referenced on the datasheets.
KEYWORDS
Shadow in the Warp
Throughout this section you will come across a keyword that is within angular brackets, specifically . This is shorthand for a keyword of your own choosing, as described below.
Enemy PSYKERS must subtract 1 from any Psychic tests they make if they are within 8" of any units with this ability. TYRANID PSYKERS are not affected.
All Tyranids belong to a hive fleet. When you include a TYRANID unit in your army, you must nominate which hive fleet that unit is from. There are many different hive fleets to choose from; you can use any of the hive fleets described in our books, or make up your own if you prefer. You then simply replace the keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet, and in any psychic powers they know, with the name of your chosen hive fleet. For example, if you were to include a Tervigon in your army, and you decided it was from the Hive Fleet Kraken, then its keyword is changed to KRAKEN, and its ‘Brood Progenitor’ ability would say ‘You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 in the Shooting phase for friendly KRAKEN Termagant units within 6" of this model.’
HIVE MIND DISCIPLINE Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKERS that can use powers from the Hive Mind Discipline using the table below. You can either roll a D3 to generate their powers randomly (re-roll any duplicate results), or you can select the psychic powers you wish the psyker to have.
HIVE MIND DISCIPLINE D3 PSYCHIC POWER
1
The Horror The Horror has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select a unit within 24" that is visible to the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, that unit must subtract 1 from their hit rolls and Leadership characteristic.
2
Catalyst Catalyst has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select a friendly TYRANIDS unit within 18" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time a model from that unit suffers a wound or mortal wound, roll a D6; on a roll of 5 or 6, the model does not lose a wound.
3
Onslaught Onslaught has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select a friendly TYRANIDS unit within 18" of the psyker. That unit can Advance and shoot this turn without suffering any penalties to Ballistic Skill for moving and shooting Heavy weapons, or Advancing and shooting Assault weapons. In addition, that unit can also charge this turn.
ABILITIES The following abilities are common to several Tyranid units:
Synapse units automatically pass Morale tests if they are within 8" of any friendly units with this ability.
Instinctive Behaviour Unless a unit with this ability is within range of the Synapse ability (see above) of any friendly units, it can only target the nearest visible enemy unit if it shoots, and if it charges it can only declare a charge against the nearest visible enemy unit.
WARGEAR Many of the units you will find on the following pages reference one or more of the following wargear lists (e.g. Basic Biocannons). When this is the case, the unit may take any item from the appropriate list below. The profiles for the weapons in these lists can be found in the appendix (pg 140-141).

A unit of Zoanthropes can attempt to manifest one psychic power in each friendly Psychic phase, and attempt to deny one psychic power in each enemy Psychic phase. A Zoanthrope unit of 4 or more models can instead attempt to manifest two psychic powers in each friendly Psychic phase, and attempt to deny one psychic power in each enemy Psychic phase. A Zoanthrope unit knows the Smite psychic power and one psychic power from the Hive Mind discipline (pg 85). When manifesting or denying a psychic power with a Zoanthrope unit, first select a model in the unit – measure range, visibility etc. from this model. If this unit suffers Perils of the Warp, it suffers D3 mortal wounds as described in the core rules, but units within 6" will only suffer damage if the Perils of the Warp causes the last model in the Zoanthrope unit to be slain.

See Spore Mine Launcher, below Each time a spore mine launcher misses its target, set up a single Spore Mine model anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Spore Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Spore Mine (pg 103) that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up.
Spore Mine Launcher: Each time a spore mine launcher hits the target, roll a D6 to find how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 the Spore Mine fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds.

GENESTEALER CULTS
From dark depths and shadowy streets emerge the Genestealer Cultists, malformed figures united by a sinister worship of inscrutable star-born entities. Secretive, stealthy and utterly malignant, they are the cankers growing unseen in the hidden spaces of the Imperium. Humanity is beset on all fronts by xenos raiders and the nightmarish forces of Chaos. Billions of lives are sacrificed upon the altar of war every day to keep the enemy at bay. Yet the most insidious threat to Mankind’s survival may already have seeped into the bloodstream of the Imperium. Embedded into the infrastructure of countless seemingly loyal worlds, the Genestealer Cults bide their time, spreading tendrils of corruption through the native population until they are ready to begin their bloody insurrections. Once unleashed, they rise up in a surging tide, armed with stolen Imperial weaponry and crude industrial tools turned to horrific purpose. When the Imperium first encountered Genestealers upon the moons of Ymgarl, they thought them to be a unique species. In fact, as scientists of the Ordo Xenos discovered after a harrowing series of investigations, they are the vanguard organisms that the Tyranid hive fleets seed before them to sow chaos and fear in their path. Resilient and possessed of razor-sharp claws that can carve through battle-plate, Genestealers are used in open battle by the hive fleets as shock assault troops. When infiltrating Imperial space, however, the Genestealers instead show their capacity for stealth and cunning. Slinking and creeping, hiding and murdering in silence, solitary Genestealers stow away on spacecraft and spread along space lanes like a virus. It only takes a single Genestealer successfully slipping aboard a cargo freighter and reaching a populated world to spell the doom of an entire sector. Once it has found a secure lair nearby a heavily populated civic area, the organism begins its dark work. In the space of a few years, hundreds of civilians will have been abducted by the creature and subjected to the Genestealer’s Kiss. Thus infected with foul xenos biomass, these victims begin to see the Patriarch – as the Genestealer who instigates such a cult is known – as a messianic figure, a herald sent by benevolent saviours from another galaxy. In time, the infected give birth to new generations of tainted Acolytes. Hybrid Acolytes, those descended from the first generation of victims, are unmistakably alien, with large, domed craniums and vicious weapon-mutations. As the corruption continues to spread, subsequent generations are born who can pass alongside the human population. These abominations infiltrate every strata of the civilian and military infrastructure, and all obey the command of the Patriarch unquestioningly. As its numbers grow, more specialised agents are created to serve the cult. A Magus, a psychically gifted individual tainted by the Patriarch’s will, is blessed with unnatural charisma and tasked with converting key targets within the planet’s government and military leadership. The Acolyte masses are organised and led by the Primus, a general and ambush specialist responsible for coordinating the eventual uprising. Come the fourth generation of corruption, Purestrain Genestealers and Aberrant monstrosities join the cult’s ranks as heavy-hitting shock troops. Meanwhile the Patriarch, star-borne and inhuman, squats at the centre of his web of influence, expanding it with inexhaustible patience until it
covers the entire world. Whether it takes a handful of months or many years, eventually the Shadow in the Warp will fall across the Patriarch’s domain, signalling the approach of a Tyranid hive fleet. Only then will the creature send the synaptic order to its minions to rise up and drown the planet in blood.
THE CULT UNLEASHED When the Patriarch’s minions receive the psychic command to begin the final insurrection, the Acolytes arm themselves with purloined military gear and mining tools, and surge forth from their hidden lairs in massed tides. Guided by the cunning will of their Primus masters, they strike first at key tactical locations like communications outposts, spaceports and munition yards. Stripped of its defenses and ability to call for help, the planet is left ripe for conquest. In a frenzy of brutal violence, the cultist uprising falls upon those unsuspecting enemies who have not yet been subsumed into its ranks. Bones are shattered by ear-bursting blasts from seismic cannons, weaponised rock drills are thrust into vulnerable flesh in a horrifying eruption of gore, and mining charges are used as makeshift grenades. The banners and sigils of the cult are unveiled at last, borne aloft on wyrm-form totems by Acolyte Iconwards whose presence inspires the broodkin to new heights of savage fervour. During the many long years of preparation for this moment, the cult has stolen and sequestered many vehicles to aid it in its murderous campaign. Rugged Goliath Trucks and Rockgrinders, a common sight in mines and manufactorums all across the Imperium, are now turned to violent purpose. Mounted with twin autocannons and heavy stubbers, Goliaths rush packs of Acolytes to the front lines, smashing their way easily through rugged terrain and releasing a chattering thunderstorm of bullets that tears through enemy infantry. Rockgrinders simply crash into the centre of enemy formations, reaping a hideous toll as their saw-toothed drilldozer blades grind screaming infantry into bloody paste. Should the threat of enemy armour emerge, the cult will respond by deploying stolen Leman Russ tanks and Sentinel walkers. These vehicles are piloted by Neophyte Hybrids who have lain hidden in the ranks of human armies for many long years. Utterly loyal to the Patriarch, they will turn their guns on their former comrades without a second thought. The psychological impact of this sudden betrayal is often enough to deal a mortal blow to the morale of the targeted regiment. As the hive fleet vomits its swarms of warrior-organisms into the stricken world’s atmosphere, the cultists sing rapturous prayers to their deliverers. Even as the Tyranids exterminate and devour every source of biomass on the planet, still the cultists hold faith in their corrupted hearts that these benevolent aliens will elevate the faithful, helping them to transcend their mortal weaknesses. Eagerly they await the blessed oneness of form and purpose they have been promised. For a while at least, the Tyranids and the Patriarch’s brood fight as one, the Hive Mind’s control ensuring that
the cult is not preyed upon. Magus leaders hurl illusions that warp and tear at the minds of the enemy, turning them upon each other with sadistic pleasure. The Patriarch’s Primus generals marshal their forces with consummate skill, spending their warriors’ lives by the thousands to open a path for the Tyranid assault. In this final, exalted hour the Patriarch himself enters the fray, and his faithful are sent into a zealous frenzy as their prophet rips the unworthy apart with razored claws and shredding fangs. As soon as the last of the enemy is overrun by the tide of chitin and scything claws, the Hive Mind subsumes the Patriarch into its greater consciousness. It becomes merely another organism in the Tyranid swarm, severing the psychic broodmind that once united its cult. In an awful moment of realisation, the cultists at last understand the truth. Those same creatures from beyond the stars once worshipped as gods now fall upon their betrayed servants in a ravening swarm, tearing and slicing them apart in a cascade of gore. Some fight back, a last gesture of defiance against the monsters that have betrayed them. Others retain their fanatical faith even now, raising their arms to the spore-choked heavens and beaming beatific smiles as they are butchered and devoured. Alongside the bodies of the slaughtered populace, the corpses of the cultists are hurled into bubbling digestion pools that form across the surface of the conquered planet. There they are dissolved into a foul gruel that is greedily consumed by the bio-ships pressed close around the world, clustered like vast and bloated ticks upon the hide of a dying beast. Thus, the Genestealer Cult does indeed join with those it once worshipped as saviours, and having consumed its fill, the hive fleet drifts away into the inky blackness of space.
CULT OF WAR Though secrecy and spider-like patience define the Genestealer Cults, there are times when the forces of the Patriarch must adopt a more forceful approach. Perhaps the cult has been uncovered by agents of the hated Inquisition before its plans could be properly set in place, or perhaps a xenos force threatens to unintentionally reveal its presence. If the Patriarch judges that its interests are endangered, it will not hesitate to unleash its worshippers to quash the threat. The cult’s Primus war leaders are given license to select a hand-picked army from the ranks of the faithful, and this advance force will fight with maniacal determination to defend the brood. More than one Ork Waaagh! or Dark Eldar raiding party has descended upon an Imperial world, only to discover a far greater threat than they could have imagined lurking beneath the surface. Neither will the Patriarch hesitate to abandon his domain if faced with an insurmountable force. Should any foe appear close to exterminating its tainted populace, the Patriarch may order the Primus to attempt an evacuation. Should even one Purestrain Genestealer slip past the Imperials’ clutches, the entire horrific process of corruption and domination can begin anew on another world.
GENESTEALER CULTS ARMY LIST This section contains all of the datasheets that you will need in order to fight battles with your Genestealer Cults miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. Some abilities are common to several Genestealer Cults units, in which case they are described below and referenced on the datasheets themselves.
ABILITIES
Unquestioning Loyalty
The following abilities are common to several Genestealer Cults units:
Each time a GENESTEALER CULTS CHARACTER loses a wound whilst they are within 3" of any friendly GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY units, pick one of those units and roll a dice; on a 4+ the Character does not lose a wound but one model in the unit you picked (your choice) is slain.
Cult Ambush During deployment, you can set this unit up in ambush instead of on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases, it can launch an ambush – when it does so, roll a dice and consult the table below. If you wish, before rolling on the Cult Ambush table for a GENESTEALER CULTS CHARACTER, you can pick one friendly GENESTEALER CULTS INFANTRY unit that was also set up in ambush to arrive with them; make one roll on the Cult Ambush table and apply the same result to both units. However, each of these units must be set up within 6" of each other. If your army is Battle-forged, a unit can only make use of this ability if every unit in its Detachment has the GENESTEALER CULTS keyword.
CULT AMBUSH D6 RESULT
1
Cult Reinforcements Your opponent nominates any two battlefield edges, one after another, and then you roll a dice. On a 1-3, set the unit up wholly within 6" of the first edge; on a 4-6, set it up wholly within 6" of the other edge. The unit must be set up more than 9" from any enemy models.
2
Encircling the Foe You nominate any two battlefield edges, one after another, and then your opponent rolls a dice. On a 1-3, set the unit up wholly within 6" of the first edge; on a 4-6, set it up wholly within 6" of the other edge. The unit must be set up more than 9" from any enemy models.
3
Lying in Wait Set the unit up anywhere that is more than 12" from any enemy models. Alternatively, set it up anywhere that is more than 9" from any enemy models and not visible to any enemy models.
4
A Perfect Ambush Set the unit up anywhere that is more than 9" from any enemy models.
5
A Deadly Trap Set the unit up anywhere that is more than 9" from any enemy models. It can either move D6" or shoot with all of its ranged weapons as if it were the Shooting phase (doing so does not prevent it from shooting in the Shooting phase or charging in the Charge phase of this turn).
6
They Came From Below Set the unit up anywhere that is more than 9" from any enemy models. The unit can then move normally, even though it has just arrived as reinforcements.
BROOD BROTHERS The influence of a Genestealer Cult permeates all aspects of a society, including any Astra Militarum regiments stationed on their world. To represent the elements of such forces that have been subverted by a cult, you can include ASTRA MILITARUM units and GENESTEALER CULTS units in the same matched play army, even though these units don’t have any Faction keywords in common. However, you can only include one Astra Militarum Detachment (one in which every unit has the Astra Militarum keyword) in a Battle-forged army for each Genestealer Cult Detachment (one in which every unit has the Genestealer Cults keyword) in that army. In such cases, simply ignore the Astra Militarum units when choosing your army’s Faction.
BROODMIND DISCIPLINE Before the battle, generate the psychic powers for PSYKERS that can use powers from the Broodmind Discipline using the table on the right. You can either roll a D3 to generate their powers randomly (re-roll any duplicate results), or you can select the psychic powers you wish the psyker to have.
BROODMIND DISCIPLINE D3 PSYCHIC POWER
1
Mass Hypnosis Mass Hypnosis has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select a visible enemy unit within 18" of the psyker. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the target cannot fire Overwatch, fights last in the Fight phase even if it charged, and must subtract 1 from its hit rolls.
2

BATTLE-FORGED ARMIES When picking a Battle-forged army for matched play, you will need to record the details of your army on a piece of paper (your Army Roster). Here we show one example of how you can do this; using several Detachment Rosters, at least one for each Detachment in your army, and the summarising main Army Roster itself. Over the page are blank rosters you can photocopy.
DETACHMENT ROSTERS Each Detachment Roster details all the units it includes. Each unit has a small entry of its own where you can write down the name and type of unit, its Battlefield Role, the number of models it contains, and the weapons each model in the unit is equipped with. Details of how many models make up each unit and what weapons, options and upgrades each can take can be found on that unit’s datasheet. The points value of each unit’s models and each individual weapon is then noted down by referencing the points lists in the appendix (pg 130-144), and added together to give a points cost for the unit. The points cost of the entire Detachment is simply then the sum of the points costs of its units. This can be noted down alongside other useful information, such as the number of Command Points (if any) the Detachment gives you (see the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for more on Command Points).
Unit Champions Many units are led by a champion of some kind such as a Sergeant. Unit champions often have better characteristics and weapon options than the models they command. All the champions in this book have the same points cost as the other models in their unit.
Under-strength Units Sometimes you may find that you do not have enough models to field a minimum-sized unit; if this is the case, you can still include one unit of that type in your army with as many models as you have available. In matched play games, you only pay the points for the models you actually have in an under-strength unit (and
any weapons they are equipped with). An under-strength unit still takes up the appropriate slot in a Detachment.
ARMY ROSTER Once you have filled in all of your Detachment Rosters, you can then fill out the main Army Roster. The name and points value of each Detachment is noted down here for reference. The total points cost of your army is the sum of all the Detachment points costs in your army plus any reinforcement points you have chosen to put aside (see below). The points cost of your army should not exceed the points limit you are using for the battle. There are lots of other useful things to write down on your main Army Roster, such as who the army’s Warlord is (this should be done at the start of the battle) and the number of Command Points available to your army. Remember that all Battle-forged armies start with 3 Command Points, but certain Detachments, and occasionally certain models, can change this total.
Reinforcement Points Sometimes an ability will allow you to add units to your army, or replace units that have been destroyed. One example is the Tervigon’s ‘Spawn Termagants’ ability (pg 89), which can either replenish depleted Termagant units or create entirely new ones. In the latter case, and in any other case when new units are added to your army, you must set aside some of your points in order to use these units. The points you set aside are called your reinforcement points, and need to be recorded on your army roster. Each time a unit is added to an army during battle, subtract the number of points the unit would cost from your pool of reinforcement points.

Keep rolling a D6, increasing the score required to cause a mortal wound by 1 each time, until the model is slain or the roll is failed.
